{edit - forgot to mention the air planes aborted to Kwajalein}
On the abort back to Pearl, the US ships had to make it through sub infested waters. The first group (the ships that took aborts during the combat) were not sighted on a roll of 3. Needed at 2 to find them in rain. The second group of ships were found on a roll of 1. The allies then rolled a 7 (it may have been a 6) resulting in 8 SP for the Japanese, with only the aborting ships fighting through from the 0-box involved. Japan used 4 SP to choose a surface battle. The JP used 3 of the last 4 surprise points to select the ship to take the D and choose the Bunker Hill. It was surprised and damaged in the attack. The allies then inflicted severe damage on the subs (damage) and aborted them from the zone.
Note, I was surprised when the program then asked me to land the carrier planes, though it did not let me change which carriers they were on (I think). I did not know that carrier planes were flown during a surface battle and always have played in f-t-f games that they stayed on the same carriers they started on.
In the end, I believe the JP lost 1 CVP to AA. The allies lost the Essex with 1 CVP, 1 CVP shot down during air-air combat, and another CV damaged. Net gain for the axis, but I spent more oil that I really need to save.
This finished the naval combat phase and the allies had no options of initiating any further combat.
{Second edit. Note, I never committed your subs or my subs to the combat, yours are still in the Mariannas}
